According to the letter of resignation, addressed to the company’s board, dated May 2, and accessed by Tofler, a corporate research and monitoring platform, Kola has requested the Board to discharge her of her duties with immediate effect.

“I regretfully inform you that at this juncture I would be unable to continue to be a part of the board, hence, I hereby tender my resignation from the office of the director of the company and request the board to discharge me of my duties as a director of the company with immediate effect,” Kola said in the letter.
